These guys are excellent. After countless attempts to fix an issue with my Honda using the dealer, I gave Ulmer's a try. They were able to fix my car and charged me the initial quote even though more issues were discovered; plus they are extremely polite and helpful. In my opinion, this is what going to the mechanic should be like. I would recommend them to anyone and will be using them for all of my car maintenance in the future.

Bryan and his Team at Ulmers Auto Care Center were excellent in helping me. They scheduled my appointment at my convenience, loaned me a car while they had mine, inspected my vehicle AND completed what I needed done in the hours I was at work that day. Their explanation of work done, customer service and respect was above and beyond. They also took the time to listen to me and what I had to say. I appreciate that greatly and I highly recommend them.

Ulmer's cares about making sure the job is done right. My repair ended up being less expensive than they had originally quoted me. They will take a brief look at your car and give you a cost estimate for free before you even schedule an appointment. Ulmer's also has a complimentary shuttle that they will use to give you a ride to and from your place of employment while they are fixing your car. They also did not try to tell me a list of other repairs my car "needed", which was a nice change from some auto places I have been to in the past. I would definitely recommend this business to others.

These guys know how to do car service right! They quickly diagnose the problem(s), give you the straight scoop on what's wrong, and if you authorize repairs they fix it quickly. All of this is done in an efficient and professional manner. We have had our vehicle repairs done at Ulmer's for years, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good, reliable mechanic who is customer friendly.

These people are great, their honest and up front. Semi expensive depending on what's wrong, however they dont rip you off and you'll get good work guaranteed. It's hard to find good customer service anywhere nowadays, but these men are very friendly and personable.

Recently had some work done at Ulmer's. Switched because my "dealer" ...never mind. Wife loves them, so I went. Very nice. On time. Do it right, easy to deal with, prices are reasonable. If you need car work, give them a call. You will love it too.

This shop treats me like family. They always go above and beyond. They have repeatedly gone out of their way to help me when I am in a bind, they did not fix things that are not broken, and they tell me when it is just not worth fixing. As a female, I really appreciate an auto shop where I can actually trust someone to look at my car and give me an honest repair quote. I would recommend this place to anyone. #Customerforlife

We have used Ulmer's Auto for many years -- back to when they only had one shop on Salem Rd. They are honest, efficient, effective, knowledgeable and friendly. Brian does take after his father which is very positive and therefore is a very good manager. His staff is first class which it has been for many, many years.

Ulmer's saved me again! I can always count on them to be polite, listen to me and fix the problem. They are so professional and knowledgeable. I always feel secure and safe in my car after they have fixed it. Thanks so much Bryan, Steve and all the rest of the staff.

Excellent service and the most honest repair shop in the city. You’ll always get the real answer on what’s needed now, what can wait snd what to think about in the future, with regards to maintenance and repairs. Cannot recommend more highly!

Kristin Bally

Always trustworthy and reliable. Very polite too! Highly recommend for any of your car’s needs.

Randy Martinez

Very fair and reliable. Always willing to talk through issues with you, so you don’t pay more than needed. Quick turnaround on repairs. And you won’t get better customer service anywhere. I found their shop a few years ago when I moved to the city and couldn’t be happier.

Ulmer’s provides outstanding service. They are responsive, thorough in their explanation of the issues and willing to provide alternative solutions when available.

Quick. Professional. Solution in a clean and warm customer area. Free Coffee and bottle water are a courtesy and available.

Excellent service. The office staff take all questions seriously and answer them clearly. They've maintained and repaired my families' cars for over a decade and helped me feel confident about my choices. Rides are available, and the waiting area is clean. Beverages and restroom available.

Steve was very respectful and appreciative. He explained everything and asked if I had any questions. My car was repaired the same day and was reasonably priced.

Randy Wilson

First time ever going to them. I drive by their shop all the time but never really thought of them. Had a timing chain go bad on my car. I decided to stop in and talk to them about possibly repairing the car. They gave us a few options on the best way to fix our car which one of them would have been the most expensive but they suggested engine replacement which ended up being cheaper. Plus they are adding a warranty vs no guarantee to just replacing the timing chain. Everyone was very professional. They called frequently to update me on the work. Will continue to use them from now on.

Laura Balside

23:23 02 Oct 18

Service is always excellent! No surprises here. The extra benefit is you can drop your car off and they’ll take you home and pick you up when it’s ready. The staff is very polite, friendly, and always helpful with any questions you have!

They did a thorough check of my car, not just the alignment I took it in for. They also checked my ignition switch at no charge and agreed I probably should have a new key made. Everyone was courteous and explained exactly what they did. Love the shuttle service home and back when my car was ready.

As usual they took great care of our Lexus and made the car road ready for our next trip to Florida. Price, convenience and car. What more can you ask for. Vern

Highly recommend everyone take their cars to Ulmer's. They always go the extra mile to make sure your car is taken care of and so are you. Everyone that works there is professional and courteous. Always willing to go above and beyond to make sure you have a five star experience. If you want your car to run forever, Ulmer's is the place to go.

Honesty, Integrity and Value are three things I believe everyone looks for in Auto repair. There is no better company than Ulmer’s to give you their best on all of these. Thanks for keeping me and my family safe while on the road.

I blew the heater control valve on my way home from work on my birthday. The truck wasn't the only thing steaming! Dropped it off at Ulmer's expecting to hear from them sometime the next day. Less than 2 hours and they called to let me know it was ready! Brian and Jason, you guys are awesome! Thank you so much.

Refreshing to experience such a high level of customer service. (Dealerships should take note!) Quality service. Thorough technicians. Pleasant customer lounge with coffee and water. These folks know what they're doing!

We send a big THANK YOU to Brian, Steve, Wesley, Fred, and to those whose names we don’t know. We were so impressed with the attention given our Toyota last Monday and we greatly appreciate it. That’s another reason why we tell people that our vehicles have been given excellent care during the last 20 or so years at Ulmer’s. You are tops in our opinion.?Marv Collins and Dean Colville

I just wanted to give a huge “Thank You” to all of the staff at Ulmer’s Auto Care. My family and I were stopping by our hometown while on our way to our new home in Las Vegas when one of our cars suddenly got a massive oil leak Friday morning. I took it to Ulmers and explained to them that I’m driving the car to Las Vegas on Monday morning. They were already very busy but Wes and Bryan still figured out a way to diagnose the problem quickly and then get the part, install it, clean up the engine for me and get the car back to me on the very same day. Unbelievable customer service! Thank you Gentlemen!

Was honest and upfront about repair. Completed repair in a timely manner and explained what was done. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely the best at what they do. Professional. Honest. Fair. Customer service oriented. Friendly. Polite. And back their warranties.

Ulmer's is one of the very few Auto care businesses I've done business with that conducts itself with integrity and stands behind the services it provides. I've been a customer of theirs for over 20 years and they consistently outshine the competition because they value their customers and stand behind their work. I recommend you give them a chance to prove it to you by scheduling your next service appointment today.

Shad Sletto

14:44 15 Jul 18

The folks at Ulmer's focus on fixing the problem. We have a variety of cars they service and they are always reliable and cost-conscious. I highly recommend them.

Anastasia Mileham

These guys are simply the best. They care about their work, they care about their customers, and they are extremely knowledgeable and up to date on everything happening in the auto industry. I go to Ulmer’s for everything from an oil change to a new transmission.

Nancy Manassah

01:24 11 Jul 18

We had our oil changed a couple of weeks ago and they went over the entire car. I ask them to check the wipers and they changed them as well. They went over their check list as well which is standard procedure. You always leave feeling that your car is in excellent condition. If something is wrong, they will find it. We have been going to them since we moved to Anderson in 2002 and would not go to anyone else. They are the best.

Kevin K

Had issues with my car and Ulmers found a way to fit me in the very next morning. Great customer service experience and I felt like I received an honest quote. I’ll be a returning customer.

I felt comfortable discussing issues with my car, and they listened. It's nice to do business with kind people. They came to pick my husband up to go get the car since we were down to one car with a baby. Customer service is top notch. Highly recommend.

So, I and sending out a huge thank you to Bryan from Ulmer's Auto Care. Not only are they the best mechanics in Cincinnati they also provide the best customer service ever. Our family has been going to them for decades. Today I found myself out of gas a few miles from their garage in Anderson (while at a gas station, long story). I called Ulmer's to see if they could help me out in a pinch. They said, "We'll be right there!" What more can I say, they care about their customers like they are family. Thank you, Bryan!

Jim Simminger

20:59 07 Feb 18

Wow! I just had a great experience with Ulmers today. I took my CRV in for breaks; they diagnosed the problems and concluded that although new breaks and rotors would fix the problem and would be needed this year, that it was not absolutely necessary right now. Since it’s a bit of a pricey job, I’ll go back in a couple of months and have it done. But, I was impressed with the customer service and explanation Steve gave to me as he presented their findings.

Alexis Swisher

19:13 04 Jan 18

I’ve been coming to Ulmer’s for years now and recently moved to Columbus. I still drive my car down to Cincinnati to get my car serviced because I love how they treat me like family. Bryan and crew are the best!

Alex Martishius

18:26 04 Dec 17

These guys are awesome. They know me and my family personally, and they are always friendly. They are honest and fair, they don't try to push services on you that you don't need. You will pay a bit more here for routine maintenance vs. the cheap places, but you get what you pay for. It's a great value for the price.

Susan Stefan

Our family has used Ulmer's in Anderson for years. We drive used cars. Brian, Steve, and the rest of the team, past and present, have always been knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and friendly. Everyone there is very customer-service oriented. I never have concerns about the quality of the service or parts. To us, they are a highly valued member of our community. We are fortunate to have them!
